Question

Hi all.Am new to this forum so cut me some slack if I don't articulate my problem with utmost clarity.My problem is that I have a javascript function such as:

function modReg(x,y)
{
 <!--

        var answer = confirm ("Do you really want to deregister user" +x+"?")
        if (answer)
            {
            document.leo["id"].value=x;
            document.leo["two"].value=y;
            document.leo["type"].value = "deregister";
            document.leo.submit();
            }
        else
            alert ("No action was taken.")

        // -->
}

Now, leo is a hidden form with the 2 fields namely "id and "two".Viewing source, I see that the parameters I need are well acquired by the function.In next page, I haven't been successful at retrieving the passed parameters. Please assist?

javascript

Ensure that those fields are within the form tags on the page you are submitting

I see you are posting to a html page. request.getParameter will only work server side, that is not on a html page but rather on a jsp page.

It should work if the form is posting correctly, can u post the code of both the pages, and I can take a look.

Hi Thirusha and thanks.
Now here is the way I did the page as concerning the javascript function.First i had the function above at top part of the page then later had this form :

Down the page I have a button :

Again after opening my page and clickikng on the button, when i view page source I see that the two values have in deed been picked but on trying to access them from the next pagei.e.
request.getParameter().....i am not able to get the two.
Now I hope this is much clearer....Please advice!

Yeah..it's a .jsp file ...so how do you retrieve the two passed parameters in the case that they're being picked up well on the first page?.....Anyone please assist !!!....Or is this question for JSP Forum?.................I hope one of you will duly assist......Thanks a lot in advance!

My main question is how to pass both username and password at the javascript function such as
function modRegistration(username,password){} and then how to retrieve the two in the page posted to?as per now, I have no clue.......Please assist

Thirusha 20 Posting Whiz · Answer 4 · 2009-09-17T15:04:20+00:00

Adding the username and password to the javascript function is easy, just send those two values to the function itself, and ensure that the function accepts two inputs.

I dont see anywhere in your code where u are using request.getParameter("id") ??

I wouldnt send in the username and password in the javascript function unless you are going to need them for some purpose, not the purpose of posting them to the next page only, in the function.

You dont need to place comment out the javascript in the script tags anymore. Also it is better practice to use a servlet to connect to the database then doing it through a jsp.

I cant see any reason why the information is not getting posted to the next page.

Thank you so much Thirusha for your good counsel.Just help me with this:If i had a js function such as the one below in first jsp

var answer = confirm ("Do you really want to edit user " +x+"?")
if (answer)
{
document.leo["id"].value = x;
document.leo["two"].value = y;
document.leo["type"].value = "deregister";
document.leo.submit();
}
else
alert ("No action was taken.")

// -->
}
</script>

how do i use request.getParameter("id","two");
or another to retrieve the two posted items in the target jsp?.....Thank you so much!

Thirusha 20 Posting Whiz · Answer 6 · 2009-09-17T17:11:24+00:00

<%String sID = request.getParameter("id");%>

Use the same code for the other parameters, remember to change the name of the String though.
